Handsling Dominates UK National Circuit Series

Handsling A1R0evo riders swept up the overall team and individual categories of the elite UK National Circuit Series.

Two teams racing on Handsling frames - DAS-Hutchinson-Brother UK and Alba Development Road Team - won all but one of the seven race series.

The honours were secured at the series-ending Beverley GP with a fine win for Sophie Lewis (below), her second in a row after victory at Colne GP. The results meant her DAS team were crowned overall winners with Alba in second.

And second place at Beverley was enough to secure the individual series crown for Scottish champion Eilidh Shaw (below). It's been a breakthrough season for the teenage sensation with two wins in the series - at Dudley and Guildford - and strong performances throughout. 

The results demonstrate the race pedigree of the A1R0evo in the hurly burly of circuit racing. Held on tight, technical courses, often with cobbles, potholes and kerbs to negotiate, the A1R0evo has proven it is quick, responsive, and tough. These qualities make the frame a favourite among racers and club riders alike, as well as triathletes competing in draft legal events. 

Simon Whiten, founder of Handsling Ltd, said: "Throughout the circuit series, Handsling riders from both our sponsored teams rode aggressively, controlling the races, launching the big moves, and fighting out the sprints. The A1R0evo is a proven performer at elite level in demanding race conditions."
